    Obvious design flaw is obvious. Do cars not need to meet basic safety standards to be roadworthy?

      They do, but this is a case of a basic safety standard so obvious that it has never needed to be mandated.

      Basically, they invented a never before seen safety flaw that did not previously exist.

      This isn’t the only time this one has endangered people. Its quite likely the rather wealthy and well connected lady who drowned a few months back was not helped by the ‘battery dead/systems shorted = doors and windows dont open’ problem.
